25 BENCH TOR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 25 BENCH TOR CLOSE sales between January 2002 and December 2020 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the August 2016 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
